What does one of the world's fastest time attack teams do in their off time? Why they run a Ferrari Challenge team of course! Algar Ferrari of Philadelphia and Sierra Sierra join forces to run a F430 Challenge and a 458 Challenge in the 2011 USA Ferrari Challenge series which is coming to a track near you. Details on the car, program, and about 900 pictures after the jump.

For 2011 Sierra Sierra Enterprises has teamed up with Algar Ferrari to campaign two Ferrari Challenge cars in the North American Ferrari Challenge series. You might be wondering how this came to be. If you've been following my adventures with Sierra Sierra and Christine the EVO, then you might remember than Sierra Sierra used to own and operate teams and cars in Formula Mazda and Formula Atlantic. Running the EVO obviously doesn't require a big staff like active race teams do, but Richard the team manager and chassis engineer, Mike and Jethro the mechanics, and Dan the everything else guy still report to a fully stocked airplane hanger with plenty of equipment to run race cars. Dave or "Emp" the driver is all over the place freelancing with driving and coaching gigs too.
